My final collection PLAY SS13 was inspired and based on the idea of the toy, looking into the construction of toys how they could be built up, knocked down and how they move. I later began looking into the Bauhaus movement and postmodernism but I particularly found inspiring the idea of how a child will play spontaneously and care free without to much deliberate thought behind it, building up shapes with blocks to then be knocked back down and I wanted to capture this spontaneous approach in my collection, therefore I echoed this nature by the enactment of cutting out large 2D shapes in contrasting fabrics and attaching together to create 3D shapes which were manipulated and distorted by how they sat on the body, being draped, twisted and pulled in different ways creating unconventional silhouettes shapes. Final designs were resolved through the act of playing with an innovative approach to pattern cutting which depicted the final outcomes. All prints were hand screen printed with the use of illuminating acids in repeat prints and engineered prints. I wanted my collection to be fun, playful, humorous, but with a slight modern, sporty feel giving a new twist on, and relevance to contemporary fashion today. contact: dulcierosep@googlemail.com Freelance: Teatro Vivo, Costumes for play 'Alices Adventures in Wonderland' Sep- Oct 2010 Employment: Barnett Lawson Trimmings Feb 2010- present Admin/Sales Work Experience: Angels The costumiers Feb- April 2011 Costumier Michael Vanderham January - February 2011
